JJ Abrams Chooses Nazi Hunter Film as Next Project

The ‘Star Trek’ director obtained the rights to ‘Wunderkind’

J.J Abrams, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures and Bad
Robot, announced their intention to create ‘Wunderkind’, written by Patrick
Alison.

‘Wunderkind’ is an action/thriller set in the 1970’s Cold
War. It follows a pair of Nazi hunters, one a young CIA agent who investigates
German war criminals, and the other an older gentleman who serves Israel’s
Mossad. The two men become intertwined in unlikely circumstances and become
partners.

Alison’s script has been on the market since May, and has
been labeled a combination of the ‘Bourne’ films and ‘The French Connection’.

Abrams’ company, Bad Robot, will produce ‘Wunderkind’, while
other key cast and crew have not been identified since the production is in
such early stages.

Abrams is almost finished the untitled ‘Star Trek’ sequel,
and will begin work on ‘Wunderkind’ after it’s completion.

Bad Robot recently extended its first-look deal with Paramount
Pictures until December 2015. To date, the two companies have released
‘Mission: Impossible 3’, ‘Star Trek’, ‘Cloverfield’, ‘Super 8’, and ‘Morning
Glory’.
